Fix : Cannot change Internet Explorer Start page | Home Page

In many situations today, add-on programs get installed in our computers. This could be due to installing software through some Internet agency’s download manager or a free software that had some add-on program clipped on to it & that installed without your permission. Recently, I faced a similar issue & I tried everything to reset my Internet Explorer’s start page or homepage. Nothing seemed to work, I even uninstalled & reinstalled the Internet Explorer, cleared the Temp folder & all offline files etc. etc.

Below is the procedure that worked for me to Fix : Cannot change Internet Explorer Homepage | Start Page :

Method 1 :

On your taskbar or Desktop

Right Click the Internet Explorer Icon

Go to it’s properties

Now,

In the Target Window, check the whole target link

Check if there is a link at the end of the line ( refer the screenshot below )

Remove the link from the end

& make sure that you put double quotes at the end i.e. right after iexplore.exe
